Abstract: A method and a system for analyzing a target in a stereo image by displaying the stereo image using a cascade structure are disclosed. The method includes for the input stereo image, generating, based on a first relevant feature, rule or model of the stereo image, at least a first first-level structure map, each of the first first-level structure maps being generated based on an individual tolerance level of the first relevant feature, rule or model, and each of the first first-level structure maps including the target at an individual first division level; and at least partly integrating the first first-level structure maps and analyzing the target in the stereo image, to obtain a structure map of a first-level target analysis result including the target.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image feature extraction method including a step of defining a combination of at least two kinds of solid angles along at least two directions, of an input spherical image; a step of determining respective values of the combination of the at least two kinds of solid angles, so that surface areas of spherical crowns of spherical segments, which are obtained by dividing the spherical image by the respective values of the combination of the at least two kinds solid angles, have a same value; and a step of generating, by utilizing the respective values of the combination of the at least two kinds of solid angles, an image feature template so as to conduct image feature extraction.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for detecting a continuous road partition with a height that includes obtaining disparity maps having the continuous road partition, and U-disparity maps corresponding to the disparity maps; obtaining an intermediate detection result of the continuous road partition detected from the U-disparity maps of first N frames; and detecting the continuous road partition from the U-disparity map of a current frame, based on the obtained intermediate detection result.
